Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The International Harvester 1566 is a 2WD row-crop tractor, produced from 1974 to 1976 as part of the 66 series. The tractor is powered by a 7.1 L (436 ci) six-cylinder diesel engine, featuring a turbocharged induction system and a liquid cooling system. It offers a two-speed power shift transmission with 12 forward and 6 reverse gears. The standard cab and a three-point hitch (category III/II) enhance the tractor's utility and comfort. While specific information on some features such as steering type and brake type is not available, the International Harvester 1566 stands as a strong example of mid-70s tractor engineering with its turbocharged diesel engine and two-speed power transmission, aiming to meet the needs of modern row-crop farming.
